Chapter 205 The Stolen Day
I don’t know what’s going on with the weather today, it’s gray and looks like it’s going to rain.
Because everyone went to bed late last night, everyone got up later than usual today.
It was already one quarter past four when Xie Qiushi and the others finished preparing breakfast.
Xie Shuangbai and Rong Chi were still sleeping. After Rong Ye finished his breakfast, he saw Rong Yi and the others wandering around in the yard, so he asked a few people to go to the nearby mountains to collect some firewood.
"Daddy, why hasn't little daddy gotten up yet?" Rong Chi asked worriedly with a frown on his face.
Xie Shuangbai was still sleeping on the bed. He moved when he heard Rong Chi's voice.
Rong Ye was afraid that he would disturb Xie Shuangbai's rest, so he dressed him and took Rong Chi out to have breakfast.
The room became quiet again, and Xie Shuangbai fell into a deep sleep in such a peaceful environment.
"Daddy, why is little daddy always sick?" Rong Chi held Rong Ye's arm with tears in his eyes, "Daddy, Chi'er is so scared that little daddy will become like mommy."
He hung his head, looking disgusted.
Rong Ye patted his little head: "Chi'er, don't let your imagination run wild. Your little daddy is just too tired."
"Did Chi'er tire his little daddy out by being naughty? Chi'er will definitely be a good boy in the future!"
Rong Ye looked at the child who was so well behaved and couldn't help but said, "It's not Chi'er's fault..."
Rong Ye frowned, not knowing what to say. Should he just say, "After you fell asleep, Daddy and your little daddy played for a long time, so he was too tired to get up. Don't let your imagination run wild!" Okay!
Rong Chi stared at Rong Ye with his innocent big eyes. Rong Ye was worrying about how to explain to him. Fortunately, Xie Chunmiao came to the rescue in time.
"Chi'er, you're awake. Auntie will go get you some porridge!"
Rong Chi was successfully distracted by Xie Chunmiao, and called out affectionately, "Auntie!"
Xie Chunmiao was so attracted by his childish voice that she wanted to touch his little face, but when she saw Rong Ye's face, she retracted her outstretched hand.
"Wait for your aunt!" and ran to the kitchen.
Xie Qiushi and Xie Xiachan were preparing lunch. When they saw Xie Chunmiao running over in a hurry, they thought something had happened.
Xie Qiushi: "Why are you running so fast?"
"Chi'er is awake. I'll serve him some porridge."
Xie Xiachan: "Lunch will be served soon, so please serve less."
Xie Chunmiao filled a small bowl, watched them kneading the dough, and asked:
"What's for lunch, sis?"
"The weather is bad today, let's eat hand-rolled noodles, it will keep us warm."
"Okay." Then he ran away again.
Xie Qiushi shook his head: "Chun Miao is almost thirteen years old, how can he still be so reckless?"
"Little sister is doing well this way, she's very lively. Big brother said that he won't let little sister marry into his family in the future."
Xie Qiushi was speechless. She knew that her two sisters had listened to her, but some things could not be solved just by having money!
Xie Qiushi suddenly thought of Wei Changfeng.
She looked at Xie Xiachan and asked:
"Is Brother Wei coming?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"You still like Brother Wei very much, right?"
Xie Xiachan kneaded the dough: "I... I don't know, maybe I like it, or maybe it's just like what my brother said, I've only been in close contact with Brother Wei."
Xie Qiushi saw her frowning slightly, a little confused, and comforted her:
"There are quite a few people in the workshop, but you only have a good impression of Brother Wei, which means you still have some feelings for him. As for the others, take your time. Brother is just worried that you haven't thought it through clearly, so I won't stop you."
Xie Xiachan nodded: "Let's not talk about him for now. It's you and Brother Xiaoshu who need to think carefully about it."
Xie Qiushi paused while cutting vegetables, "Yeah, I know."
While the two of them were worried, Xie Chunmiao did not have such worries. She was having dinner with Rong Chi at the moment.
Rong Chi held a small spoon and drank the porridge obediently without anyone feeding him. The more Xie Chunmiao looked at him, the more she liked him from the bottom of her heart.
"It would be great if Chi'er could stay in Luoshui Town all the time, so that your aunt can see you more often."
"Why doesn't little aunt go home with Chi'er?" Rong Chi asked with his big eyes blinking.
Rong Chi also likes Xie Chunmiao and wants to play with her.
Xie Chunmiao touched the little ball on his head: "Auntie can't leave!" She saw Rong Chi's puzzled expression and touched his little face: "Eat quickly, and after you finish eating, Auntie will take you to play!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly finished his porridge.
Rong Ye saw that it was getting darker and Xie Shuangbai had not woken up yet, so he felt a little worried and got up to go see him.
The room was dark because of the curtains, and it was hard to tell whether it was day or night.
Rong Ye lit a candle, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb him, and just watched him sleep.
He just watched Xie Shuangbai sleep quietly, and his heart was very calm. Even he didn't understand why.
He felt the silence.
“Pah—”
“Clatter—”
The rain seemed to be pouring down from the sky, hitting the window frames.
Outside the house, Xie Chunmiao hurriedly carried Rong Chi back to the house.
The sound of rain grew louder and louder, hitting the tiles and making beautiful notes.
Xie Shuangbai turned over like a startled kitten.
He closed his eyes, covered his head with the quilt, and twisted and turned like a silkworm.
Rongye walked to the bed and gently lifted a corner of the quilt: "Are you awake?"
Xie Shuangbai closed his eyes and said, "I feel dizzy."
"Let me give you a massage."
Rong Ye's big, bony hand gently pressed on his temple.
Xie Shuangbai felt so comfortable that he closed his eyes and joked, "You would definitely be a top masseur in my hometown!"
“I’ll press it only for you.”
Does this man have honey on his lips?
"Where's Chi'er?" he asked.
"Playing with my little sister."
"It's rare that Chi'er likes Chunmiao. They seem to be destined to be together." Xie Shuangbai sighed.
"Are you up?"
"Help me get my clothes."
Rong Ye took his time helping Xie Shuangbai put on his clothes. When they left the house, they saw Rong Yi and the others had returned.
Everyone was soaked like a drowned rat.
"Hurry up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold!"
Rong Yi and the others looked at the watermark on the ground and said awkwardly, "Yes, Master. Let's go change clothes first!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at the people shaking their heads, realizing something was missing, and asked:
"Why can't I see Hei Niu anymore? Is she back?"
Xie Chunmiao said: "Heiniu is embroidering in the house."
Xie Shuangbai was surprised that she wanted to learn embroidery at such a young age.
"Did she want to learn it herself, or did you let her learn it?"
"Brother, Hei Nuo must have learned this because she likes it. We won't force Hei Nuo to do something she doesn't like!"
"I didn't expect she liked embroidery."
Xie Qiushi was carrying noodles, and Xie Xiachan came in from the door holding an umbrella.
"Brother, you woke up just in time, come and eat your noodles."
Xie Shuangbai looked at the hand-rolled noodles in sour soup in front of him, which looked very appetizing.
There is nothing happier than having a bowl of hot noodles on a cold winter day.
Rong Yi rushed back and was so moved by the hot noodles that he almost cried.
They were all big eaters and finished all the two large pots of noodles made by Xie Qiushi.
Xie Qiushi felt very satisfied seeing that the food he cooked was so popular.
After dinner, because of the bad weather, there was nothing for everyone to do.
The main room is not as warm as the indoor room, so everyone went back to the indoor room. Let’s go to bed early today, maybe it will be sunny tomorrow.
Xie Shuangbai also prepared charcoal for Rong Yi and asked them to take it back to avoid being cold at night.
After closing the door, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Xie Shuangbai felt like today's time seemed to have been stolen. He had just woken up and now he had to go back to sleep.
Rong Chi was already wearing pink bunny pajamas and holding Xie Shuangbai in bed, asking him to tell him a story.
Seeing how cute he was, Xie Shuangbai hugged him and kissed him a few times to satisfy her craving.
He had wanted to tell him about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
But I was afraid that he would have wild thoughts.
So he decided to start another world-famous story - The Little Match Girl.
